Erie, PA – It has been a very happy holiday for one local man after hitting it big on Wednesday afternoon at Erie’s Presque Isle Downs and Casino. An Erie man, who chose to remain anonymous, hit a seven card straight flush with the joker for 100% and walked away with $54,966.32.

“It’s always great to see an Erie player hit a big jackpot, especially this close to Christmas. His $16 wager paid a whopping 3,748 times the amount wagered, which is one helluva return and a wonderful Christmas present.” said Jeff Favre, Vice President and General Manager of Presque Isle Downs.
